Research Notes - from Park Genealogical Books, your specialists in genealogy and local history for Minnesota and the surrounding area The Louisiana Purchase: A Connection from Coast to Coast When we think of the French and early Minnesota, we often think of the northern part, with its connections to Quebec and the fur trade. But there's more to it than that. On April 30, 2003, we will celebrate the Bicentennial of the Louisiana Purchase, which included vast acreage west of the Mississippi River from Lake Itasca in Minnesota (and points north) all the way to New Orleans. That initiated a flurry of exploration, as it then appeared possible to see the United States extend from the Atlantic Coast all the way to the Pacific. Schoolcraft, Keating, Lewis and Clark, Featherstonehaugh, and others wrote of their visits to the area. Settlers followed, new territories were formed, and the forts to protect settlers were built. Fort Snelling was begun in 1819, at the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers. Settlers living in what was to be Minnesota were enumerated by census takers in 1840, divided along the lines of the Louisiana Purchase. Those living east of the line were enumerated with the Wisconsin Territory and those living west of the line with the Iowa Territory. Both these censuses have been indexed and are available in various libraries. (You might even find someone on the 1830 Michigan Territorial Census, before it was subdivided.)

home programs faculty students ... links Travel Travel is the birth of geography as an intellectual discipline and as the burning center of many geographers. It is the fundamental base for exploration, both on foot and in the mind. Geography is Travel. EKU Geography has hosted a Travel and Tourism major for several years, and in its continued evolution, a new interdisciplinary major is in development with Leisure Studies. In 2001-2002, the program is in transition, but will be supported by Geography until the shift is completed. See the semester schedules for pertinent course offerings. Geography faculty are usually excited about the travel potential in its curriculum. Scheduled for Fall, 2001 is GEO 450, Field Studies, which will be a Memphis-New Orleans excusions, looking at the physical and cultural landscapes of the Deep South, along the Mississippi River. Geographic features to explore: Jazz and the Blues of Memphis, the Delta country of Northwest Misssissippi, and New Orleans (N'awlins); the Delta culture and agricultural landscape; Vicksburg Civil War park; the economic and social roles of Mississippi gambling; Antebellum landscapes; Kudzu; the Mississippi River; bayous of Looznanna, the Big Easy of New Orleans; and a whole lotta other stuff.

A New Book A New Book: Grand Excursions on the Upper Mississippi River: Places, Landscapes, and Regional Identity after 1854 , edited by Curtis C. Roseman and Elizabeth M. Roseman. University of Iowa Press, 2004. Summary Essays in the Book and Their Authors Ordering Information The Augustana Connection Summary: The essays in this book each have in common the examination of Upper Mississippi River activities and environments that stem from the purpose and experience of the 1854 Grand Excursion. Each essay can be thought of as an excursion in itself. The first five explore topics directly related to the original Grand Excursion. The remaining essays explore major landscape elements and activities along the Upper Mississippi as they have evolved over the 150 years since that 1854 event. Stitching the volume together is a series of bridge illustrations that serve as “bridges” between chapters. This unique bridge carried Milwaukee Road trains from Prairie du Chien to Marquette, Iowa until 1961.

Title ISBN Author Photographer Illustrator Keywords The Mississippi and the Making of a Nation From the Louisiana Purchase to Today From northern Minnesota to the Gulf of Mexico, the Mississippi River runs its course along the borders of ten states and cleanly bisects the nation. But the Mississippi is more than an imposing natural landmark; it is embedded in every facet of America’s national identity. Stephen E. Ambrose, renowned author of Undaunted Courage, historian Douglas G. Brinkley, author of The Unfinished Presidency, and award-winning National Geographic photographer Sam Abell traveled the entire length of the Mississippi—from its mouth at Delacroix Island, Louisiana, to its source at Itasca, Minnesota—to bring readers the full, rich history of America’s great river. In 11 chapters, each covering a length of the river, readers will witness the early explorations of DeSoto and the momentous signing of the Louisiana Purchase; they will meet Jim Bowie, Ulysses S. Grant, and Robert Johnson; they will relive the Civil War and the Great Flood, the Underground Railroad and the Trail of Tears; and they will discover the immense impact of the Mississippi on American arts, from the birth of the Blues to the literature of Mark Twain and T.S.

Earthquakes In Louisiana Active Faults In East Baton Rouge Parish Louisiana Geofacts Brochure Color Stratigraphic Charts of Louisiana ... E-mail Webmaster Generalized Geology of Louisiana The generalized geologic map of Louisiana can be viewed here The surface of Louisiana is underlain by geologically young sedimentary sequences that were deposited in or adjacent to rivers and deltas in a coastal plain setting. These deposits and those in other states flanking the Mississippi valley indicate that a major river system corresponding to the Mississippi has persisted at least since the Gulf of Mexico began to form by the separation of North America from South America. In general, the entire suite of fluvial, deltaic, and coastal deposits has advanced farther into the Gulf through time, and continues now to fill it with sediment. Evaporation of the shallow sea that was the early Gulf of Mexico produced thick salt deposits, now deeply buried, from which salt domes intrude the overlying strata. During glacial episodes in the Quaternary, sea level dropped and shorelines moved seaward. When this happened rivers flowing into the Gulf of Mexico could deposit their sediment farther out than before (or since), and outwash deposits of sand, gravel, and silt, known as valley trains, were deposited in the lower Mississippi valley. Remnants of valley trains deposited in the late Pleistocene can be found along the western edge of the Mississippi River flood plain in northeastern Louisiana. Areas adjacent to the Mississippi River valley were covered by loess, a wind-blown silt derived from glacial outwash deposits; loess deposits up to several meters thick remain preserved in areas flanking the valley.
